You may remember a few days ago when I posted about a mother who died from water intoxication. The woman drank too much water in an attempt to win a Nintendo Wii from the local radio station. Unfortunately the woman died, later last week all that were involved were fired from the radio station. In addition, the morning show the contest(Hold your Wee for a Wii) was featured on was canceled and removed from the air.
